He lives in a home that was built before the American Civil War, in a city that was established 100 years before the American Revolution and that is four minutes by foot from Temple B'nai Israel.His lovely wife Dena is an over-achiever, his Aishes Chayil, an accomplished woman. She has her Masters in Reading Education, is contemplating a Doctorate, teaches full time, tutors part time and is also a published author, vice president of our local Toast Masters and an accomplished seamstress and award winning quilter.He and Dena parent Don Yakov 's sons and on occasion, his daughter. When able, they travel to Florida and visit Dena's three married daughters, her three strapping sons-in-law and her very cool one and two year old grandsons, her lovely three month and 13 month old grand daughters, and three wonderful step grandkids, thank the One Above again.ver menos
